Modern parents are stressed out and tired. They’ve tried countless parenting books, many of which are harsh, fear-based books that loving parents instinctively reject. As Christians, we frequently believe that the battle for a child's heart and soul is fought on the outside with rigid rules, when in fact the opposite is true. Rejecting rigidity and checklists that don't work, Dr. Kimmel recommends a parenting style that is the opposite, emphasizing the importance of communicating the unconditional love that Christ offers and affirming this timeless message of grace to one's family.

No parent enjoys discipling...but we know it's important, so we grit our teeth and make it happen! Or can it be more than something we just "put up with"? Sara Wallace, a mother of five, brings you a personal, frank account of her own journey with discipline - and introduces an entirely new way to look at it. Not as something we do to our children, but as something we do for them. We can be glad when our children disobey while still in our care - they are showing us where they need to be strengthened and encouraged, giving us a chance to shape their hearts.

This is what it looks like, and feels like, to walk as a mother with God.

Most parents misguidedly prioritize behavior. The why and how to instill character. Behavior modification does not guarantee good character qualities. Character influences decisions. It’s evidenced in our speech, actions, and attitudes. It’s about who we are and what we do. The world competes for the hearts of our kids—and we see its negative impact in their pride, laziness, and entitlement. As Christians, however, we want to see the character of Jesus Christ in our children.
